EDIT: Now that I see who is in it, I think I will claim this as a de facto birthday present!

It's supposed to be the same Saber that was in Extra, right? Why is she dressed similar to Saber Lily, now? I guess that plays into the whole "Virgin White Special Edition" thing? And then there's the two Mysterious girls, one of whom looks like an amalgam of Sakura and Rider.

Okay, lots of stuff popped up on Seasons of Change, it seems. Confirmed for "not a sequel", Nasu says to think of it more like a Sakura route for Extra. The three playable Servants from the last game (Saber, Archer, Caster) are the ones that you'll be using again in this one. They'll all have new costumes, though only Saber's is finalized and the other two are still in the design stages. You can choose whether you want to use the new costumes or the old ones, too. Tail Girl is one of the enemy Servants that appears. She's very clearly an antagonist, and if you had to compare her personality to another Type-Moon character it'd be Luvia.

I hope they nerfed Saber. It's been a while since I played it, but I remember that piercing special attack, (the name escapes me,) that you can use during 招き蕩う黄金劇場 (the Latin name escapes me,) was just massively imbalanced, especially with the minus defense that the reality marble gives.

Fate/EXTRA Will be Released in North America on 11/1/11

TORRANCE, Calif. – September 12, 2011 – Aksys Games, a publisher of interactive entertainment software, is proud to announce that Fate/EXTRA, the RPG based on the hit series Fate/stay night, will be coming to North America on 11/1/11!

Fate/EXTRA Story Elements:

Waking up in a strange virtual world with no recollection of the past, the main character finds themselves forced to fight for survival in a war they do not understand for a prize beyond value; the opportunity to have one’s wish granted. With only an enigmatic “Servant” by their side, the protagonist will have to face both friends and foes in battles to the death in order to not only gain possession of a mysterious object known as the “Holy Grail,” but also to find the answer to the most important question of all: “Who am I?”

Fate/EXTRA Key Features:

* Intuitive, Fast-paced Battle System: Using Break, Attack, and Guard abilities in combination with powerful Special Moves and Code Casts, players are required to plan out their attacks to effectively counter their opponent’s moves and emerge victorious from potentially deadly encounters.

* Engrossing Story: Written by the creator of the original Fate series of PC games, Kinoko Nasu, the story of Fate/EXTRA will not only appeal to long time fans of the Fate universe, via the inclusion of many familiar characters, but will also appeal to RPG fans looking for a deep, non-formulaic storyline that delves into such mature themes as loyalty, death, love, and what it means to be human.

* Extensive replay value: Multiple story paths, each with their own unique dialog trees and character interactions that lead to different endings.

There have been a few updates of note for those here in Canada looking forward to the game; the standard edition of the game is now listed properly (and at the right price), the LE's price has been adjusted, and pre-orders for both versions will now come with the Fate/the Fact booklet too!

I hope they nerfed Saber. It's been a while since I played it, but I remember that piercing special attack, (the name escapes me,) that you can use during 招き蕩う黄金劇場 (the Latin name escapes me,) was just massively imbalanced, especially with the minus defense that the reality marble gives.

Saber was supposed to be a tank, to make the game with her easy. Caster was basically Hard mode. I'm interested in Fate Extra CCC though. I bet it's far darker than Extra was.

Gotta say, those were some pretty shitty questions. Most of them could be answered with the tiniest bit of research or asking anyone who played the Japanese version, so why would they waste actual questions to the localizers on them?

Really, only the third question was any good, and only because they talked about localization and such.

Much better questions than part 1. Especially loved the first one, since it seems to confirm the standard translations for things instead of literal translations, which I was worried about.

Well, it was better, until the second question. Wtf kind of question is that? That's worse than anything in part 1. Whoever submitted that should be ashamed, and whoever vetted it should be removed from their position.

Third question was almost as bad as the second. Wtf is this shit? And that's the last question? Did they seriously only get like 9 questions? That's the only excuse I can see for those last two being questions.
